Thanx OC - more good input.

We have plenty of fruit wines here in the rainy NW (since the grapes are too smart to grow in such a miserable, wet, gray place)

not_enuf..... you can send me a PM on trip Advisor if you wish to meet sometime during your stay in istanbul and if we are at our summer place at Iznik (Nicea) you can visit us there.

The previous year we entertained a group of jazz musicians at our compound and they entertained us. So, if you can sing and/or have musical instruments with you we can also arrange something similar for you. :)
